About Azalea

Meet Azalea! This gorgeous pup is about 3 months old, and ready to grow up and be your new best friend for life. Azalea and her sister were found abandoned in the bushes near ACS. They were scared, soaked from rain, and didn't know what was happening. After we got them safely inside and offered them some yummy treats, they immediately warmed up and started acting like silly, playful puppies. Now that they are spayed, vaccinated and microchipped, they are ready to find their forever homes. If you are interested in adopting Azalea, come meet her today!

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

25°F to 42°F

Dec – Feb

Louisville winters bring cold temperatures with occasional ice and snow. The Ohio River valley can trap cold, damp air that feels colder than the thermometer reads. Protect your pet’s paws from salt on sidewalks and keep walks shorter on the coldest days.

Spring

38°F to 72°F

Mar – May

Spring brings blooming dogwoods and warming temperatures along Cherokee Park’s scenic loop. Allergies are common for both pets and owners in the Ohio River valley. Watch for spring storms and have indoor activities ready for rainy days.

Summer

65°F to 90°F

Jun – Aug

Hot, humid summers in the Ohio River valley make heat feel more intense for pets. Schedule walks for early morning or evening and carry water on every outing. The Louisville Loop trail system offers shaded sections that provide some relief from the heat.
